"AN ONLINE guide for GPs has been launched to help them support transgender patients.

The new service in Brighton and Hove is believed to be the first of its kind in the country.

Its introduction follows a recent Parliamentary inquiry into Transgender Equality in the UK which found trans people encounter significant problems in using general NHS services.

This was due to the attitude of some clinicians and other staff when providing care, which was down to lack of knowledge and understanding."

Now, if we can just get them to read it.....

To move forward is to leave behind that which has become dear. It is a call into the wild, into becoming someone currently unknown to us. For most, it is a call too frightening and too challenging to heed. For some, it is a call to be more than we were capable of being, both now and in the future.

Teaching our GPs to be emotionally supportive is great but I have consistently found my GPs to be very lacking on transgendering medical knowledge. We need real online guides to help them with the medical side too.
